Iwo Jima, Pacific Ocean



 


Notes:
Friday, February 16, 1945:



At dawn this morning, we started bombardment of Iwo Jima. We didn't get any return fire. We are going in closer tomorrow. They say they have shore batteries along the beach.



This island is the smallest we have hit yet, 3 miles long and 2 1/2 miles wide. Not much to it. We seen one plane all day. She tried to slip in on a cruiser but failed.



We haven't been to GQ all day. This is miserable weather down here. Almost froze this morning.



The radio is really blaring out about our carrier planes hitting Japan. Sure am glad I am not in that task force.



It was the first major battle of World War II to take place on Japanese homeland. The island of Iwo Jima was a strategic location because the US needed a place for fighter planes and bombers to land and take off when attacking Japan. Iwo Jima is a small island located 750 miles south of Tokyo, Japan.
